One-day workshops. Some
organizations start with a series of one-day workshops that engage key
people in the ideas of Beyond Budgeting. Sometimes the project is called
"Finance for the Future" or a "Vision for Finance" - terms that are
perhaps less threatening than "Beyond Budgeting" - even though the outcomes
are similar.
|
| |
|
Two- or three-day Workshops. The
one-day workshops can be followed by more in-depth workshops that engage
key managers in the process of preparing the case for change, vision
statement, and road map. These are usually supported by the use of the
Beyond Budgeting Diagnostic that can provide a view of the need for
change from a wide range of managers across the organization.

Change Program Design. In the initial phase
of your change management or Beyond Budgeting initiative, we assist
you in developing the foundations and landmarks of the program. This
process usually extends over a couple of weeks and includes agreeing
a vision and road map that is specific to every client. We also advice
you about how to overcome implementation barriers right from the beginning,
by briefly analyzing the client organization, processes and members.
The Change Program Design service might be extended through regular
project reviews throughout the implementation phase. |

Consultant to the Consultants. We work as
a member of your team that guides the project as it develops and ensures
that the right consultants are appointed and they deliver on their commitments.
The success of Beyond Budgeting rests on how well real companies implement
its concepts and principles. We cannot stress enough that the model
is indivisible. In other words, it is not just a matter of cherry picking
the elements that you think might plug the holes in your current model.
It is the coherence that matters. This is why having us working with
you is so important. Most change management programs end in tears. We
don't intend this to happen with Beyond Budgeting! |

Process Implementation Support. We advice
and support organizations in developing, re-designing or reformulating
specific management processes. Typical issues might include:
-  |
the implementation
of rolling forecasting processes (typically dysfunctional or absent
in organizations); |
-  |
the review
of balanced scorecard and strategy formulation processes and measures;
|
-  |
development, design and prototyping of activity-based or value-based management processes; |
-  |
reporting
and performance measurement system streamlining and redesign; |
-  |
support with
performance benchmarking, relative target setting and key performance
indicator definition; |
-  |
collaboration
in the design of incentive and compensation systems; |
-  |
the substitution of performance appraisals and human resource management process streamlining; |
-  |
design and
implementation of management control systems; |
-  |
and so on.

|
For these services, we will often work in
conjunction with our consulting partners.

Change Process & Project Auditing.
Accompanying the client´s change process, we review change management
progress and the coherence of results. This might happen on a pre-scheduled
or an as-needed bases. By creating a change management feedback loop
throughout the implementation, our reviews increase impact of the implemented
program and indicate execution problems before the program turns sour.
